The University of South Carolina School of Medicine is the second institution to have all of its psychiatry residents become members of APA.

They join the ranks of an exclusive organization within APA: the 100% Club. This club was established to encourage residents throughout the United States and Canada to join APA and to do so with other trainees in their programs, according to Deborah Hales, M.D., director of APA’s Division of Education, Minority, and National Programs.

The first 10 training programs whose residents all become APA members can submit a photo of their program members—residents, training directors, and department chair—and the photo will be turned into a poster to be mailed to every medical school in the U.S. and Canada to encourage medical students to join APA (see photo). These residents will also be given a 25 percent discount on national membership dues after their first year of membership.

(The first year of membership at the national level of APA is free for residents and $80 thereafter for U.S. residents and $50 for Canadian residents. Membership for medical students is free.)

More information about the program is available from Nancy Delanoche at (202) 682-6126. Programs that are interested in signing up all their residents should also contact Delanoche. {blacksquare}
